Glock 19, 26, shield 9mm, or Ruger LCP. All depends on the situation. Knife either a Spyderco or Case of some sort, work truck has basic first aid and RATS tourniquet. Personal Truck has my IFAK kit with all the goodies. Light is a Streamlight stylus pro. On my 2nd or 3rd one in about two years. Not because they failed but because I don’t know where the others are
My EDC will be the same as it has been the last two or three years. I have 4 guns in my EDC rotation: Shields in 9mm and 45acp, Springfield Mod 2 subcompacts in 9mm and 45acp. If I need a backup gun, it is my J frame 642. I am quite satisfied with my choices.
I have been carrying an Olight flashlight that is only about 2 inches tall and is rechargeable. I really like it, but now cannot find it. I guess I will need to order another or perhaps two since being small, it is easy to misplace.
I also have my keys and my assisted opening Kershaw.

Great choice! They're clearly much more reliable than them stupid, plastic Glocks!
He needs the external safety. I can't train him to keep his little paws off the trigger.

I carry the same pistol all the time. Since I got it 2 years ago, my every day carry pistol has been my S&W M&P M2.0 9mm 5inch 17+1 in FDE. I also carry two spare magazines loaded with 16 each. SOFT-T Wide, Red Sabre OC spray, 3.25 inch folder. Last year I added a Ruger LCR .38. This year, I added a Streamlight PolyTac X USB and removed the M&P's external safety lever. M&P rides openly in a Safariland 7TS ALS with Guard and QLS.

99.9-ish percent of the time, its a CZ Rami 2075 (9mm). The rest of the time, its a Springfield XDS (.45).
The XDS used to be my EDC until I got the Rami. When I travel by airline to another state that has reciprocity with TX, I take the XDS.
Not that I'm too worried about it, but if I had to give it up for some reason, I'd rather it be the XDS. I like the Rami a lot more (and it cost more $$ than the XDS).
Both handguns are IWB in a Crossbreed Minituck at 3 o'clock.
A couple of knives - early original Leatherman folder and a single blade thumb opener clipped inside my pocket.

Mainly the G43 since it fits perfectly in my right leg cargo pocket with a sticky holster. If I'm wearing a belt holster, then its the G19 OWB or the Shield for IWB.
